Derbyshire Cricket

Original 150th Anniversary Illustrations

To celebrate 150 years of cricket at Derbyshire the club commissioned UK based Sports Artist, SPARKIUS to create a series of artworks commemorating the cricketers who have played an integral part in the club's history.

Derbyshire County Cricket 150th Anniversary artwork by SPARKIUS Art

Derbyshire County Cricket Club was formed on 4th November 1870. Over the ensuing century and a half, Derbyshire cricket has risen to the summit of the domestic game, languished at the bottom, and seen some of the finest players in the world grace the many grounds within the county and beyond.

A selection of original artwork featuring key players was created and final images were integrated into three specific projects: Full-Size Wall Art for the club's hospitality lounge areas, Large-format External Signage and Bespoke Cover Artwork for the club's 150th Anniversary Book.

Steve has helped to bring our 150th Anniversary to life with unique artwork which seamlessly incorporated Derbyshire players from across the generations.

He showed a great interest and understanding of the project and provided his own expertise to drive the projects forward. His knowledge of sport and sports organisations was evident and made him a pleasure to work with.

We are delighted with Steve’s work and very much looking forward to the publication of our 150th Anniversary book later this year, knowing the commemorative jacket sleeves will do it justice.
